I find it hard to believe they went down for 4 hours for maint. in the middle of the day. If the new system crashed, it crashed. Man up and say it crashed. Maint. should be scheduled, with notice, to impact as few as possible.
as expected, NO phone call from internet provider I requested today. going to call 1st thing tomorrow. NO surprise there I talked to while outside messing with my rotor the company used for landscaping for my internet provider digging holes all over yards in town for their fiber optics and they even heard 100s all over having issues with them keeping reliable internet on 24/7. How else is NO emails being delivered from 1132 a.m. to after 4 p.m.? I called them friday night reporting an outage and they even said they had maintenance on Friday during the day, not sure how long but one would think what I told my wife to do is unplug the router/modem they proved in the basement and it worked then, but was near 5 p.m. which did her no good. MAN UP, how about coughing up 70 grand my way if my wife looses her job because of this B.S. that my internet provider thinks is O.K. to just shut down all internet in town with NO warning or notice beforehand. That is Bull Pucky beyond belief.
If her employer ordered her to work from home, doesn't provide internet service for her to do so and then fires her because the ISP experienced an outage.
She needed a different employer anyway.
you all must be or have been in the past working for good employers of which both my wife and I agree does not exist anymore anywhere, just lesser of the 2 evils to pick from is all. That is not our case never has been having decent respectable employers. My wife tolerates her boss for lack of a better word, but the newbie bosses boss is a _itch. She found out today the adm. assistant for her bosses boss ONLY been there 1 year cannot stand working for her any longer so she gave 2 weeks notice today to go work for a husband/wife who she met at a gym in their house taking care of their 3 kids, no benefits nothing besides a paycheck. That is how bad it is there. Oh yah, the bosses boss _itch has said publicly to the 4 in her dept. that she can hire her 17 year old son to do a better job than what we currently have now. I would have said go for it but my wife has been there since 1990 will be 30 years in October seen it all, done it all thru thick and thin (is very thin now) vs. me when someone tells me that is time to leave having NO respect for anyone brain dead from the neck up
anyways, back on topic: I finally decided since NO phone call to call my internet provider today and they are going to send a TEXT to my cell phone supposedly on anymore outages or maintenance being performed in town (or so they say) but I would not count on it. And yes, her company will fire anyone just looking for an excuse since after this virus B.S. is over, they are firing permanently about 1/2 to all of a few Accounting depts. sending their jobs overseas to India to people am sure barely able to speak English working for 3 bucks per hour. It is the way of the world nowadays been thru 3 of these like this myself but to other US cities not overseas.
About 15 years or so ago my current company closed the US plant is a smidge of what it once was back in the heyday and built a HUGE mfg. plant in MEXICO hiring workers willing to work for a few bucks per hour tops.
INteresting, yesterday as well Charter Spectrum called me up about their TV/internet pkg. and I would not do their TV but the Internet alone same fiber optics but 200 meg vs. 300 megs I have now which is fine as long as RELIABLE offered for 5 bucks less per month their internet for 2 years NO committment either vs. what I have now. I asked what their rate goes up to AFTER 2 years though and NO straight answer just BS talk. My current rate is pretty much good forever or until they think my internet provider thinks they can jack up the rates. So, I could keep switching back and forth between the 2 internet providers in my town every 1 to 2 years to get NEW customer rates all over again which is what I will do if I cannot #1 get reliable fiber optics from current provider and #2 same rates as what I have now being about 60 per month. If I had to guess, after that 2 years with Charter Spectrum that 55 per month pricing will go up to say 80 bucks per month just for internet and that is too much. I am not stupid, Charter Spectrum sales lady knows EXACTLY what the 'after 2 year' internet pricing is NOW but she will NOT tell me am guessing 20 dollar jump.
